    hi, VEG_Admin 

    Sorry for my careless, you could try this formula for [$/SF/CostCode]

    $/SF/CostCode = RANKX(ALLSELECTED('Buildings'[Building Name]),[$/SF],,ASC)

    Result:

     

    By the way, in the 4th column, these three 0.01 values are different value indeed, please put four decimal places for [

    $/SF

    ].

     

     

    Best Regards,

    Lin

hi, VEG_Admin 

You just need to drag [$/SF] measure into Values of matrix but then do conditional formatting based on [$/SF/CostCode] measure

For example:

here is my pbix file, please try it.

 

[$/SF/CostCode] is only used when do conditional formatting, don't drag it into Values.

 

 

Best Regards,

Lin

This isn't quite right, the colors are carrying across all the columns for each building, i.e. Building 1200 is always red, regardless of whether it is the most or least expensive per square foot.  I need the red value to be the lowest amount in each column, not just the building with the lowest total.  So 1200 would be red in column B because it is the lowest, but green in column A becuase it is the highest.
